The Coming HnrYert,

Washington, August 10--The prospect
a month ago was for o heavy crop OF
corn, and the rate OF yield about the
average. It's condition in all states OF
the Atlantic coast is now unimpaired
and of very high promise, In Texas and
Tennessee the condition declined mater
tally. In the central corr region how
ever, in the. valleys of the Ohio and
Missouri, where two-thirds of the crop
is grown, and the commercial supply is
procured, q very heavy reduction has
taken place, which has made the nations
al average S0.7, instead Of 97.7 last
month. The cause is long continued
drought, which has been the seVerest
in Kansna, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan. Nebraska has been scorched
on the southern border, and Iowa
and Missouri have escaped with COM
parAtiyeIy slight loss. The corn
surplus stands as follows: Ohio, 90; In
diana, 81, Illinois, IS; Iowa, 90; Missouri,
SO; Kansas; 60; Nebraska, 10. The oon-
dition of spring wheat, reported very
low last month from tho yavsges OF the
ohinch bugs, is not improved in the
August returns, but has fallen off very
slightly, the genersI average being 1873,
two points less than August returDs OF
last year. Dakota has rnsde q slight
gain and stands highest in condition,
The average for WISCONSIN is 10; Minne-
sofa; IA; Iowa. II; Nebraska, n; Dakota;
lSS. In tho extreme esst and on the
Faciic coast the condition OF spring
wheat is high. Tharc 10 no report OF
inter wheat, d present month, as it

The condition averages $3.50, which in
dicated a crop sligEtly under the aver
age. The barley crop promises to yield
rather better than was expected last
month. The average is 1862, Indicating
a nearly average yield. The bnckwheat
area appears be the sauna. as last year
and averages about SO in condition.
There is as q great reduction since the
1ss ct July in the condition OF potatoes,
almost entirely the result of dToogut.
The injury is.seyere in the west, the
loss during the month as reported is
fully 20 per cent of the prospective crop,
The frnit crop is very poor. The hay
crop is also greatly reduced in the west
The general average is so.

Spokane Falls Review: One Of the
.peculiarlties of this northern county is
the occasional appearance OF frost at
night during the summer. There is
hardly q summer when there is not at
the least q slight frost. but it is rarely
SO heavy as to do any serious damage.
There have been several of these vista
tons this year, and SO heavy as to do
considerable damage. DR.. Piper inform
ed q reporter Saturday that the frost
had almost ruined the wheat on the
higher lands about Peone prairie. He
states that there will hardly be one
eighth of the yield Of wheat that there
would have been had it not been for
frost. Early in the season the pros
poets for a big crop were never better,
but there are many things that may
happen to destroy grain from the time
it is out OF the ground until ready for
harvest, In the section mentioned
frost got in its work for the first time III

the country.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The Manchester locomotive works, within q
few days. have received an order for thirty loco
motives for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad.
The Michigan Central Railroad Company in
conjunction with another road and a navigation
company. will build 500, 900 hotel at Mackinac
island The work will commence at once, and
the house will be opened to the public July
next
In the event of the consolidation of the Fitch
burg with the Troy g. Greenfield, and after
ward with the Troy Il Boston and the Boston.
Hoosac Tunnel & Western, it is not improbable
that the next move will be to push through a
line to Buffalo.
Early in the spring work will be commenced
upon the Chicago. Kansas City & St Paul line,
from Waterloo to Des Moines The completion
of this road will make the distance from St. Paul
to Kansas City SIS miles. the present shortest
route is 563 miles.
The grading on the Freeport & Chicago line
has all been done, and the track has been laid
for distance of forty two miles. Fiftytwo
miles are yet to be laid to reach Freeport. This
is expected to be done early in January, and
soon as the weather will permit work will be
commenced on the line between Freeport and
Dubuque This will be finished early in the
spriug. The completion of the line from Dubuque
| to Chicago will reduce the mileage between st.
Paul and Chicago from 484 to 420 miles.
The Northern Pacific people have been greatly
gratiied at the fact that the road recently had
| special shipment of nine carloads of bonded
| goods, which it transported from eastern and
Canadian points to Tacoma, where they to
be taken to Victoria and other points in British
Columbia. The shippers had evidently pre-
| ferred sending their freight by way of the
Northern Pacific in order to be saved from the
| delays that might happen through the blockades
| that occur on the Canadian Pacific.
| c. s. Venner who is the great obiector to all
| the schemes for extension and expansion of the
| Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe system speaking
of the Chicago and Kansas City project, sad
| "We propose 10 prevent the building of it.
| There is no need for such line, and it would
not prove a paying investment with FIVE com
petitors in the field, the majority of whom
would retaate upon the Atchison by building
into its territory. The talk about a line thirty
eight miles shorter than the present short line is
| not worthy of consideration"
A new dining car is being built for the Michi-
gan Central by the Pullman palace works at
Detroit This car is intended to combine all the
! latest improvements found advisable after con-
siderable experience in the of dining cars,
| which have now been used for some years on the
| Michlngan Central The car will have only
eight, instead of ten tables, in the earlier cars:
The tables will also be of unequal size, those on
one side of the seating only two persons, one
each side of the table The isle will be some dis
TANGO from the center of the car. that the
tables on one side can be made wider. and thus
afford ample accommodation for two persons on
each side, or four at each table.
